This PSL team’s social media post on Coronavirus awareness creates controversy
Xtra Time Web Desk: Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Islamabad United’s recent post on twitter to spread awareness for Coronavirus is creating a flutter on social media. The franchise has used picture of India medium pacer Jasprit Bumrah overstepping the line in the historic final of the 2017 Champions Trophy against Pakistan. "Don't cross the line. It can be costly ! Don't leave your homes unnecessarily, MAINTAIN PHYSICAL DISTANCE but make sure your hearts remain close," the caption read.
It was the Champions Trophy final between India and Pakistan in 2017, where Bumrah had got the wicket of Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman early on, but it was adjudged a no-ball as Bumrah had overstepped. The message did not go down well with many Indian fans who lashed out at the franchise for mocking the No. 1 ranked ODI bowler in the world. The playoffs of the Pakistan Super League have been postponed for an indefinite period due to the COVID-19 outbreak.❗️ Don't cross the line. It can be costly ❗️ Don't leave your homes unnecessarily, MAINTAIN PHYSICAL DISTANCE but make sure your hearts remain close. #UnitedAgainstCovid19 pic.twitter.com/LjmX1ZhXyz

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment
